Changelog

45.1.0 (May 14, 2025)

We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v45.1.0.

Release highlights

Typing Improvements

The typing behavior has been improved for plain text typing. This adjustment allows the web browser to handle text insertion before the editor processes it, enhancing typing reliability across various scenarios, especially on Safari and iOS devices. Issues related to track changes, autocorrect, automatic text replacement, and other input methods have been addressed.

Track Changes Enhancements

A new method to start a "tracking session" has been introduced, preventing automatic merging of adjacent suggestions. This allows for more precise control over individual changes, catering to workflows that require selective acceptance of edits.

Miscellaneous improvements

• Sticky toolbars and balloons are now better aligned with the visual viewport on iOS and Safari, ensuring correct positioning when zooming.
• The fullscreen plugin has been improved to maintain scroll position when exiting fullscreen, avoiding unexpected jumps on smooth-scrolling pages. Layout consistency has been refined by adjusting margins and editable width. Errors related to the Content minimap plugin in fullscreen mode have also been resolved.
• Introduced a fix which ensures that the data-author-id and data-suggestion attributes are preserved in non-block suggestions when retrieving data with showSuggestionHighlights: true.
• We improved the algorithm for images detection in the Paste from Office feature, in scenarios of mixed local and online images from Microsoft Word. Paste no longer causes some images not to appear.
